Noah Nartey celebrates after scoring for Lyon against Lille in Ligue 1 on Sunday

Overview

  • Noah Nartey, signed last month from Brøndby on a five-year deal, struck in the 37th minute for his first Lyon goal.
  • Ruben Kluivert created the winner with a precise cut-back after a burst down the left and praised the team’s effort post-match.
  • The streak is a club-record 10 consecutive victories in all competitions, extending a surge that began after a December defeat at Lorient.
  • Paulo Fonseca’s side, bolstered by Real Madrid loanee Endrick who has featured on the right, strengthened their path toward Champions League qualifying rounds.
  • Lille’s downturn continued, with reports variously noting a fourth straight league loss or six defeats in seven in 2026.
